I'd suggest we merge Daniel's patch (almost) as is, and you can
(re)establish the behavior sfc wants but you owe us:
 - fixes for helpers used in "is the queue in use" checks like
   ethtool_get_max_rss_ctx_channel()
 - "opt in" flag for drivers which actually support this rather 
   than silently ignoring ring_cookie if rss ctx is set
 - selftest
